🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

YES, this is a repost.
TH-cam removed the original video after it had already amassed 4 million views.
The reasons are complicated, boring and dumb, but I’ll explain.
We used some footage from a channel that labeled it as “Creative Commons” meaning anyone can use it in their edit.
Then we got a copyright strike on the channel for using that footage.
It turns out, the footage we used wasn’t Creative Commons. Some TH-cam channel had just reloaded this footage and labeled it as such.
Sadly, this means youtube’s Creative Commons labeling system is useless, because anyone can just load someone else’s footage and label it as such.
So, in order not to waste our extraordinary effort in making this video, we’ve reedited it, having taken out those handful of clips we’d used.
That said, the strike still remains on our channel. Fun, right?
The channel whose footage we inadvertantly used refused to make any type of licensing deal with us. Oh well. That’s their right.
Hello😂
I love this channel ❤
Second
Great 👍
Bro I'm first
I grew up in Alaska where whale blubber, called muktuk, was considered a delicacy. I have had it and it is a very distinctive taste. The native Alaskans who hunt whale are extremely respectful of the animal and have traditionally used every part of the whale possible to sustain the tribe for the long winters.
It's been the practice of most Indigenous and First Nations peoples. I spent my teen years 20 minutes outside of a Cree reserve and befriended one of the girls. She and I hung out constantly and I got to help prepare a moose they'd hunted for the winter. First time trying this moose fat and Saskatoon berry mixture and it was sour and waxy and salty and a bit sweet. I ate as much as they'd let me with moose jerky. They used every part of the moose because every part has a use.
Loaded with mercury and shouldn’t be eaten.
Same.. I grew up teething on muktuk and dried salmon in Ankorage, Unalakleet and Noorvik. We were also often given seal meat by local inuit/Eskimos numerous times or simply invited to their homes to have it. Both my parents still prefer their ulus over a chef knife too.
is it taste like meat (as mammals) or closer to fish?
Any legend of korra fans making any cool connections here or just me?
I love the Faroese locals. They just seem both confident and friendly, the kind of folk that give the respect they receive.
I would like to visit the archipelago before I go in the dirt. This series showed me how much.
Thx bud i live There
Very influenced by Lutheranism, in addition to that Scandinavian culture :)

Low key, Sonny has a Food review, Nat-Geo and History Channel all in one show. Amazing!
Hi Sonny, my name is Gary Dutton I live in England I have been watching you for years. This video was a fantastic insight regarding Wales and the way you have explained it in depth and dealing with the unique culture of others. I genuinely believe you deserve a medal. You are a fantastic person and character and for that alone thank you very much for the time and effort to show me and also others around the world regarding unique traditions. This series was absolutely amazing regarding the Faroe Islands. Thank you very much sunny once again thank you very much ❤
Glad that reply dragging feminism into a food review comment section was removed. Nobody wanted to see their baggage and what was in it.
I guess there are alot of commonalities between Faroese and Wales. Both are fishermen cultures.
@@adrianaslund8605 Funny one..I'm, a Faroese man, I recently got a genetics test back from MyHeritage, my ancestors came from Wales, Ireland and Scotland :)
not about wales, about whales ;)
To be fair...
This episode was deserving of another watch.
Fucking facts.
Aint that the truth
Stupid environmentalists need to mind their own damn business before they become next on the menu.

I’ll watch it again

This video is important and wonderful because of YOUR content, lack of those clips does nothing to decrease the excellence of this video. I'm sorry yall had to go through the hassle. But seriously thank you for going through it, doing the new edit and sharing it so people can continue to be educated about this. 💜
Yeah, but now they have a permanent strike on their account for trusting YT's own system. The issue is that the strike is permanent and channels only get 3 before they are shut down and removed from YT. I don't expect Sonny and crew to purposefully get another, but in a world where you can get one even when you're acting in good faith, it's a little worrying that someone else has the power to completely destroy your business and the livelihoods of everyone working there.
@@jimmyvau Yeah, I was trying to keep the comment positive and left out the TH-cam politics cause I'd probably use language that would get me banned. ;P
@@jimmyvau They don't have a permanent strike. A strike will be removed after 90 days.
His best, in my opinion. I don't mind watching again for the views.
@@briley672 hi, what clips are missing here? I didn’t see the original upload. Thanks
I like this channel because Sonny tackles "The Elephant in the Room" sans bias, and directly in the head.
Great vid again!!
Tbh I like his videos a lot because they educate us the viewers on how people survive on different necessities that lack the normal necessities of food
Look how clean and beautiful the place is and their houses are sparkling
Bc they’re not Americans
@@chucklee2507 or Indians.
In general speaking countries like Faroe Islands , Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland are very WHITE countries, and use to be very clean , until emigrants from Africa and Middle East didn’t show up…..😒😒😒
No hellcat americans of course
I like those houses with grass growing on the roof. Looks like something from a fantasy world.
Looks like something from the hobbit.
Ive made something like that in minecraft, just real big.
I'm really grateful you went to the Faroe islands. I honestly wish you'd stayed longer. Reposting this video is just a gift. Thanks Sonny!
I support whatever anyone’s eating ❤ the problem comes when the animals are treated really bad or if the animal is endangered ! ☺️
@@remsfairyy just curious if you would support cannibalism
@@jamesnesran2348 hmmm i don’t know . if the human is already dead ? maybe
@@remsfairyy they treat the whales more than bad
I think those people should go extinct then the whales can live in peace
I think I’ll just leave this running over and over all day because of what happened. I’ve been watching since 2017 and this is 100% my favorite channel.
that is what i am going to do help the view count
TH-cam limits you to a couple views. You're wasting your time
@@pappi8338 limits you to 1 view by your ip adress
I went to the Faroe Islands last year, and it was the best experience of my life. I waited years for this!! Also, I went to the same restaurant and had the same dishes, and WOW, they are incredible. Didn’t have the guts to try whale meat even though I bought it at the supermarket (gave it to a local). When you visit the islands and get to know the culture and people, you get a different perspective of all this “controversy”.
they have no culture at all.
I love your content. You show such respect and kindness to EVERY PERSON.
Thank you for posting this video and all your videos from no matter where in the world. LOCAL food is so important now and in the future. We need more of it and people need to realize that food security is so important these days that harvesting and eating more locally obtained food will help the local area survive.
@Scott Burke they can have pigs, cows and other farm animals if they want to. Killing whales is not a must.
@@TheMaverickq neither is fruits being shipped or flown across waters but yet that happens

@@TheMaverickq Too bad the world doesnt revolve around your privileged lifestyle
@@TheMaverickq so its fine to kill pigs, cows and other farm anmials but not whales??
This was an informative and eye opening video. I now understand the ideal of local foods. Makes so much sense now when shown in this context.
Never thought that a food review show can give me goosebump. Well done Sunny! You and your team are the best!

i was having deja vu, i am like i saw this before. thank god i did not loose my mind. i agree with you, there are so many videos that are not good, but when Sonny posts this they think of taking it down. smh. When natgeo etc shows then its a show, when a content creator shows, its controversial.
I like how this channel approaches cultures completely openly and exposes the culture to the world in a nonpartisan way. You are doing important educational work. Thanks!
Nonpartisan my ass he keeps insinuating that this will make pilot whales there are hundreds of millions of pilot whales they are in no danger of Extinction
Thanks for the video! And thank you to the kind people who let you share their way of life. It's fascinating! I'd love to visit some day.
If they've been doing it for 1200 years, it HAS to be sustainable
You're right they do it less today than 1000 yrs ago
Now say the same to Chinese people who's been grinding rhino horns for thousands of years.
hunting is sustainable, industrialism and capitalism are not
well population of china is largly different today
@@elmohead
@@LeviathanCb but faroe island population is unchanged for 1200 years?
I REALLY love these kind of videos from you all. The perfect mix of facts/culture and the staple a little comedy mixed in! Well done as always ands i look forward to more like this!
I will rewatch it for you love your channel, it's not only food but also a cultural document!
This is a very objective documentary on the Faroese tradition of the "Grint", of whale hunting, and whale eating. You approached this delicate subject very professionally, sensitive to both the environmental impact by continuing the practice, and the cultural impact by ceasing it. I'm impressed. This may be your best episode. And you described the textures and flavors very accurately. I ate whale meat and whale blubber a number of times while traveling up the northwest coast of Norway, and you nailed the taste: a mix of venison, salmon, and liver (and I'd add pigs feet and eel oil to the mix because of the buttery fat). I never had it dried but it sure tore apart like jerky on your show. The texture is really difficult to describe: because its too soft to be like beef, yet too solid to be like fish. Very good show, sir, with award winning qualities.
just because its tradition doesnt mean they have to do it, not all traditions are good. it was 'tradition' for women to stay at home and be housewives until the feminism movement
Thanks that was really informative!
@@nzvplc that was good tradition though
@@nzvplc Not your place to say. That's the bottom line here. You have absolutely no right to prevent someone from engaging in a >1000 year tradition, and why the hell should you?
@@nzvplc Women's happiness has taken a sharp decline since their 'liberation' (which ultimately was just them being pushed out of the home and into the workplace, so why wouldn't they be unhappy?). So don't assume it's a good thing to eschew tradition. It's there for a reason; it works. Traditions don't just happen, they evolve with the people who take part in them, usually through necessity.
The channel has grown so much in the last five years (that's when I started following you). 2 mill to almost 10 mill!!
I have followed this channel since it began and have watched almost every video since. I can say that the Faroe Islands series is by far the best!!1
The best part is that you give recognition to your team for their dedication. Keep up man.
Hi Sonny. These videos are exceptional. The way you portray local cuisine is amazing. Please come to New Zealand and try some rarities over here!

@@HybridBlueDream by who? lol. exceptions don't prove the rule. just because someone somewhere at some point in history used a word inappropriately either seriously or ironically doesnt change how the majority of people use and understand the word.
@@HybridBlueDream "it's not like i prefer white sneakers but don't get me started on black ones.
just imagine your daughter coming home wearing black sneakers.. i'd be devastated."
Great videos as usual sonny and team. I’m amazed how you always try to potray local culture and their way of eating it to the world in the most open way possible. I also want to go to Faroe Island one day 🎉🎉
Didn't get to see it the first time. Thanks for putting it back up.
oh, i loved the first upload and of course this one. It is amazing how respectful you put this together
Hi Sonny. I am from Trinidad. I have relatives in St. Vincent. Over the years I was fortunate enough to get some of the blubber, the meat and some Whale oil.I loved it. The islanders eat the Whale with Farine together with some of the oil and blubber. Farine is bitter cassava, grated,dried and toasted to form a consistently like corn meal.
What's next on the menu, elephant?
@@Ben10ArgExactly, the guy above us has no brain to speak of obviously
@@Ben10Argit's very though, you need cook it for hours but it'll be tough
That’s actually one of the most interesting videos you have posted 👌🏼
Once again excellent job from you and your crew. The filming was amazingly awesome, and deserving of great praise. Sonny, your approach to such a controversial subject was brilliant and allows eyes to be opened as to the traditions of the local people that has sustainably continued this practice for many years. I applaud you and your teams efforts to bring this much needed content to us all to enlighten and enrich our understanding of each other's cultures and diversities. Thank you. And aaah Peace!✌🏾
I appreciate the fact that you have their side of the story when it comes to whaling. You don’t have to like it, I can’t say I do. But you humanized them and you gave the viewer a chance to come up with their own opinion.
Thanks for your honest views and truth on topics of this nature. Keep up the great work man
Watching this channel has tremendously improved my culinary skills 👌🏾
No worries Sunny, we will support you and your channel. You deserves it after traveling all over the world to create the most unique food content for us! Hope you reach 4 mils plus for this video in no time!

may i know what's been removed?
@@DanilaGaming It says in the pinned comment from BEFRS. It was a creative commons licensing issue I think
Watching again because it’s an amazingly well made video and look into the lives of these people and it should be boosted
@sharans5626 Yeah check the pinned comment
Good this episode is a personal favorite and I'm happy to see it's back.
I might be wrong but doing something for 1200 years would suggest that it is sustainable.
An extinction of a species is over thousands of years sometimes millions the way we are causing anima,s to go extinct is way faster than how it would happen naturally but then again fishing is one of their main incomes you can’t take all that away
But the way these people do it is the correct way it should be done nomover fishing
The suggestion isn’t to forbid fishing however, preventing the hunting of whales will likely increase fish stocks in the future as they are ecosystem engineers; here in Ireland we’ve had similar controversies regarding the harvesting of our peatlands and even though it’s been done for thousands of years it’s still unsustainable as it takes millions to get it back. Same goes for our traditional farming landscape, although beautiful looking it’s actually terrible for biodiversity as so much land is left for monocultural grass to feed cows and sheep without any space for native woodland
@@Davale.this is natural to the islanders. You don’t see it as natural as it’s humans.
@@Davale.not necessarily… when humans found out about dodo birds the last of them were gone in under 100 years… humans are the biggest threat to any animal species…
Thank you for uploading many kinds of food tradition all across the world. After watching all the videos I got to know more of the traditional foods of the world. 😊
This whale hunting feels like a scene from Avatar 2 when they were trying to catch the big fish.
In Norway we shoot the whale in the brain with a harpoon that has a grenade in it. Kills it immidelty.
Love your guys stuff , keep up the awesome work.
I always watch ur videos, for me u deserve a minimum 10m views per video, ur doing great and ur documentations are so informative. Keep doing making videos🙏🏻

i loved this video so much. your attitude and approach towards the custom and culture was perfect. 4 million other people thought so too. ah, it pains even me to see those views go. i can't imagine the frustration and pain you and your team went through.
Best food channel on youtube sonny never disappoints
Hi Sonny and crew, I’ve been watching your videos for such a long time now and in every other video that’s been posted on this channel opened up my mind towards certain things. Watching this video made me think about the indigenous people in the northern part of Canada. Today, as far as I know, these groups are struggling to keep up their tradition of seal hunting due to the same reasons that are in the video-thoughtless activism(and animal rights groups were going on and on about white seals even though they weren’t endangered). I am a cegep student and I recently learned about the fight for their rights, fighting to be able to sell seal products and for them to thrive. The documentary I watched (Angry Inuk) I think was 5 or so years old and this fight had been going on since the 20th century. In the documentary, it was already said that the ban did happen and they are not able to sell anything because of the ban on seal products. It would be very helpful for their community if a documentary was made about their food and their ways of living, shedding more light into this matter.
I looked at it twice coz this episode i watched already, then went to comment section and there the unjust happened. No worries Sonny, every content is worth watching every now and then ❤️ surely nobody gets tired watching again and again your videos all effort are worth it. Kudos team ✨ luv from philippines
As sad that it makes people and me it's still very important. It's how these people live thanks for sharing Sonny.
It's fine it makes u sad,it's ppl that think their feelings and opinions should change others way of living
So basically them hunting this specific whale species is not harmful to their population and also it seems that they hunt in a way that is humane (I would like to believe that the majority of people who hunt do this) and also because they don’t go out into the ocean to hunt for these whales, they wait for these whales to basically show up in their territory, they aren’t killing as many, and also one thing I would like to add on, is that they don’t eat it as often because of the mercury levels in it which can be toxic for the human body if consumed a lot. So overall, this doesn’t create as much damage and might also be a positive thing because all species need some kind of predator to help keep their numbers at a good number in the food chain. I think the bigger issue people should look at is hunting for species that are endangered and definitely sports related hunting. I think those are two huge issues that should be focused on instead of something like this that clearly does not impact negatively so much.
In some cases sport/trophy hunting can be beneficial, such as in africa. It's not uncommon for a portion of a profit of someone hunting a lion or giraffe in africa to be sent towards conserving endangered species, such as rhinos and cheetahs
I appreciate your true respect and non-judgmental attitude. In this day and age that is rare.
These guys are likely the ancestors of the ancient vikings who settled islands all along the north Atlantic coast living off Salt cod and cod liver oil... the same people who first found and settled north America in Newfoundland
This is just another case of the completely bonkers way big tech handles creators on their platforms. We really need to start thinking about moving away and to more distributed yet still monetizable platforms.
Appart from that, awesome video. I was on the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴 shortly during my ferry trip from Denmark to Iceland but I did not try whale meat at any of those places. I didn't think it was ethical for me to do it. I definitely do not have an issue with locals doing it the traditional way, especially after this video!
Good thing I downloaded the original upload before YT turned it down. I kinda figured that one day, there will be wokes that will try to cancel this very informative documentary about Whaling in Faroe Islands.
Sonny, keep up the great work and continue spreading the love and appreciation of foods and culture around the world.
What parts were taken out? It sucks I hadnt watched the original before it was removed 😢
These are the things they changed from the original version. Please let me know if I missed more points. Regardless, this video gave me more understanding the Faroese way of life from food to their culture:
* removed faroe islands title
* removed "this is our statement" in one of the guests in the beginning of the video
* cut some scenes in whaling in the past
* replaced recent whaling procedures into scenes in whaling in the past
* replaced some real time videos of whaling procedures to still old pictures.
* removed some scenes of people bathed in blood and holding some whale parts.

@@chaseniwa7971 your holiday home?!?! I’m sorry, you’re so strong! What a warrior 😢
Not going to lie I would love to try their food. It looked absolutely delicious. And I think they should be allowed to continue their tradition.
People did the same to us Newfoundlanders and our seal hunts. It was one of the only ways for our people to survive, yet people don't understand that. We even changed our way killing, to make it less barbaric and more humane. Yet people still don't see it as a real food! It's part of our culture and it was a way for us to survive, no American or European is going to stop that!
Today feelings matter more than actual facts - that is unfortunate, but that is how things work today
Many of the same people who bash these islanders for what they prefer to eat are the very same people who gladly pay a food industry to enslave highly intelligent pigs and other animals. Because it is out of site people find it easier to justify their own food and killings over others
Thankyou for showing our way of life.
These people are definitely doing it the right way! I appreciate their toughness, and their generosity to share this tradition, and this delicious looking food with you, for us to see. 👍🐳🙏💙
I wish you a very successful and happy life full of love, joy, wealth and health.❤

Wow that dinner looked like a traditional Danish meal. Even had Aquavit.
Bro if I ever come in to money I would live life like sonny experiencing different cultures and cuisines I love this channel and its host makes my day everytime I watch the videos😊😊
Ah that's why, I was thinking I am sure I have seen this video, that sums it up, creative content.
Being first nation(southern touchoné), we use all parts of the animal, while we mainly hunt moose, (dangerous), That's responsibility and respect for it, we give thanks to them for providing for us. I think as long as the Faroe island people continue to also do that for whales, the perspective on whale hunting will change. Much love from the Yukon!
I love the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴 ❤ I went in 2019. 😊
The fried whale steaks with onions and gravy looked pretty good.
Watching your videos have really pushed me start creating my own content.
Sonny I'm a huge fan of this channel😍 it's so addictive and very educational.. Kaise, South Africa
What a beautiful country
It's 100% sustainable as long as you don't have everybody in their mother out there trying to do the same thing from other countries. I like what the guy said about eating the food from where you are. Not other places. That's why animals go extinct
Dont worry, whale meat is very special taste, and most dont like it, so its proboly going to be very sustainable.
Also, killing a very small % of an spieces can sometimes be an help to an spieces, maybe not this idk, but for example wild salamon in alaska, if humans dint fish it, they would destroy themself
Trying to work out if anything's been edited out from the original upload (I imagine it was pulled, along with the Faroe's compilation due to some TOS issue, or someone complaining about the more graphic scenes from the hunt, as the Dolphin one stayed up). Anyone else notice if somethings missing?
Actually the best and most measured media I've seen on the grindadrap, far less judgemental and emotionally manipulative than much bigger budget productions. I don't have a moral problem with sustainable, low-volume whaling (my great great grandfather was a whaler), and I deeply respect the cultural context. But the new health implications of heavy metal concentration can't be overlooked. The industrial pollution of the oceans with thousands of tons of mercury and other heavy metals every year is a profound crime.
Great episode. My namesake, Bjarki, in the neighboring islands of the Faroe seems friendly. I have often had Minke meat here in Iceland. It's lean, tender, much like beef, and tastes exceptionally good grilled. Just a couple of minutes on both sides and bon appetit! But our tradition of whale hunting does not date as far back as the Faroe Islander's. We only started hunting them in the 20th century while their relationship goes back to the 16th. Our reasons for hunting whales, which are mainly industry driven, are very different from theirs.
Hellooo fellow íslendingur!
i've seen this series about faroe islands before and thought it was fascinating, Sony is just incredible stunning and very neutral, - can you imagine i've wished for so long time to see my favorite extraordinary animals, whales and dolphins - and these islanders eat them ? crazy for my wish ! I don`t judge them, it`s their culture...but
I like the open mindness of your comment. Hope most i mean all people were like that.

I believe those people who did 'research' on whales hunting them in a big ocean is the reason for the extinction of that whales. These people in Faroe Island...well, I don't see its a wrong thing to eat whatever fish comes in their way.
I THINK I remember this place being on Animal Planet's "Whale Wars" show.
Just amazing this dude is trying every food around the world... Wow
This video is important and educates the world.
Your channel is always a learning experience for me I enjoy watching you ❤❤
Love the Place and folks look really relax. Islander have different lifestyle. People should let those guys be. The older gentlemen said it well. "We eat what is here, there is nothing wrong with that."
You wouldn’t say the same for the Chinese & Japanese won’t you? Mf hypocrite
The village is so clean and beautiful ❤️
I really enjoyed this episode! Learning about the whales and how they harvest them and of course eating them.
The last guy said it right. Thanks for this video!
This episode could be SOO much longer. I would actually watch an hour and a half long video with you narrating about this. Honestly I see no issue with what they’re doing, I’d try whale if given the chance.
Thought I'd seen this video before and I gotta say that if I was to be offered Wale steak then I would definitely accept and try it
Thanks a lot for covering this whale hunt topic now I can understand why people there still eat whale meat and I've come to understand that this is not harming the whale population
Everybody have they traditions and people have to understand and respect that !!!!
this series was one of the best you did anyway
